Using aircraft carrier as base defense weapon?

Bugjuice · GDI Hacker **Joined**: 31 Aug 2013

Hi what's up? sorry my poor english Embarassed

Anyone here try to make this work before? I trying to built a base defense that will launches small drones that automatically engage the enemy within range, it works like a aircraft carrier.

But the problem is when the drones return to its parent building, it will try to land but as soon as it touched the ground it flew up again, and land again and it repeats, and it won't reload.

If this done correctly, the drones should have been disappears after landing, and launches again after reloaded. I don't know if this can be done but I tried, it must be something missing.

Yeah kinda silly thing to do Laughing

, I'll use some extremely small airpad as the so called carrier, and the hornets will be the "drones".. Laughing

And it will have some pretty ridiculous weapon range too, like 20 cell guard range. It's like a alternative to Grand Cannon but at least this weapon doesn't do no harm to friendly unit as the hornet's weapon cells-spread is like .3..

You sure? I'll try it out, but haven't have any problem with my "land carrier", a vehicle that spawns hornets, it has 2 hornets in it. Game haven't crashed since.

I'll hate to have the game crashes out on me Crying or Very sad

, I've spend countless hours searching for the error that causing it to crash, 1 mod at a time.

lol, a single spawner does not crash if properly coded. See the dozens of mods which actually had this working, like CW had a building, RedRes still has one, so on, so on...

The above setup worked great, I've built multiples, about 25 something, and have the AI player timed to paradrop every single minute, and watch that swarm of drones takes out those enemy like it was nothing lol. No IE so far.

But discovered some problem while in it, some random drone still failed to land on the spawner, it circle around the top. If you ignore it, it will circle the whole day until it gets killed.

To make it land I'll have to manually select a random target, so it will engage the enemy and return to spawner, second attempt always worked though.

Fixed the landing problem, spawned object were flying too fast, speed reduced.

Do you mean something like the slave spawned by the slave miner?

deathreaperz · Commander **Joined**: 20 May 2013 **Location**: Indonesia

Landing problem? which tag did i miss??? :3

Yeah, like slaves, but slave logic was used to mine ores. What my plan to do is (actually the code was finished, because of spawner limited logic, it failed):

Guard towers will spot enemies and because of that spot, a guard/ maybe 2 guards will go outside the guard towers to attack them, and after the enemy terminated, those guards will return to the guard tower
